Dr. Mullis:
And the pelvis is interesting in that it’s much like a pretzel. It’s very difficult to break the pelvis in one place, just as it would be hard for you to break a pretzel in one place. It will usually break somewhere else on the pretzel, and so when we talk about fractures of the pelvis, there’s usually more than one fracture involved.
